A twisted knee on the soccer field. Persistent shoulder pain that won't go away. Hip arthritis that makes it harder to enjoy favorite activities. A torn ACL from a pickleball game.
When orthopedic injuries and conditions arise, some patients may not know how convenient it is to access specialty care at Atrius Health. Our comprehensive Orthopedics & Sports Medicine service offers the depth, expertise, and coordinated care to treat virtually every orthopedic need, from initial diagnosis through rehabilitation and, when necessary, surgery.
For orthopedic care, start with the team you already know and trust. Our orthopedic specialists provide comprehensive care from diagnosis through recovery.
Comprehensive Expertise Close to Home
Atrius Health's Orthopedics & Sports Medicine department includes highly skilled orthopedic physicians and surgeons supported by experienced physician assistants and advanced practice clinicians. Together, they provide care for patients of all ages with a wide range of orthopedic injuries and conditions.
Patients are often surprised by how much orthopedic care can be delivered conveniently within Atrius Health. Our specialists have specific expertise in and care for injuries and other conditions affecting:
- Shoulders and elbows
- Hands and wrists
- Hips and knees
- Feet and ankles
- Bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, and tendons
- Sports-related injuries
- Arthritis and degenerative joint conditions
- Fractures and traumatic injuries
- Nerve compression conditions, including carpal tunnel syndrome
Our orthopedic specialists provide comprehensive evaluation and treatment for a wide range of orthopedic conditions, often helping patients avoid surgery through expert diagnosis, personalized treatment plans, rehabilitation, bracing, medications, injections, and other non-surgical approaches when appropriate.
In some cases, minor surgical procedures can be performed in an Atrius Health practice location. For example, certain hand and wrist conditions, including carpal tunnel syndrome, may be treated with an in-office carpal tunnel release procedure.
If surgery is necessary, patients benefit from continuity of care. Often, the same orthopedic physicians they know from their office visits are the surgeons who perform procedures at respected facilities, including New England Baptist Hospital and its surgical centers as well as other leading suburban surgical centers such as Shield’s Surgery Center. From first consultation through recovery, patients continue working with the physician who knows their condition and treatment plan best.
Connected Care Throughout the Journey
The experience highlights not just orthopedic expertise and skill, but also the convenience of receiving care from a connected team that can guide patients through every step of treatment.
When patients call their Atrius Health primary care physician after an injury, they gain access to a healthcare team that is already connected. Primary care providers, imaging services, orthopedic specialists, and physical therapists all work within the same system and share the same medical record.
That means:
- Less time repeating medical histories
- Easier communication among clinicians
- Faster access to test results and treatment plans
- Seamless transitions between primary care, orthopedics, imaging, and rehabilitation
- Care that is coordinated around a patient's overall health needs
For patients, that often results in fewer obstacles, less confusion, and greater confidence that everyone involved in their care is working from the same playbook.
